CHAPTER 11 : Who is She ?

27th April , 2013 ; I was on the way back home after school was over .

Dad ," Rahul there's a good news for you . You will get something what you wanted badly ."

I got into a deep thought and started guessing . There were a lot things which I wanted but it could be . I was totally confused about it .

Me , " What ? Is it a PC or a remote control car ?"

Dad , " No , it's something different . Don't always go for materialistic wants ."

I knew Dad wouldn't give me a new PC so easily as he thought it would had ruined me . Aaah Old people's thinking !

Me , " So what is it Dad ? "

Dad , " You will come to know after we reach home ."

After a while we reached home . I got down the bike and rushed inside . I opened my shoes and socks the shouted , " Mom , food . I am really damn hungry today ."

Usually I used to get the reply , " First take rest , then go and bath ." But today I couldn't hear the reply . My Mom wasn't at home . . .

I searched for her everywhere in the house but I couldn't find her . I was too afraid and then asked Dad , " Where is Mom ? Dad please say ."

Dad replied , " Your Mom left us and went to village . She wouldn't return . We have to live alone Rahul . . . "

I started to cry as I was too close to Mom . I didn't want that to happen . I began to curse myself for all the wrong I did . I cried hell . . .

Dad couldn't control my cry anymore . He was annoyed and said , " I am just joking , she didn't left us . She's in hospital !"

I felt relaxed and then asked , " why is she in the hospital ? "

The next thing my Dad said was shocking and gave me a mixed feeling of happiness and confusion .

Dad , " Rahul , you have a sibling now . You have a sister and from now on you are an elder brother . "

I jumped in happiness as I always wanted a sibling . I saw my neighbours playing and spending good time with their siblings . I was jealous and always wanted a sibling of mine too . That was the happiest moment of my life till then .

After hearing the news my hunger suddenly vanished and I requested Dad to take to the hospital immediately .

I reached the hospital , there I saw my Mom on the bed and few of my relatives surrounding her and smiling . Then I saw a baby beside Mom . She was as small as a mice and she was my little sister . . .
